C.A.T. Cooperativa Sociale

C.A.T. is a social cooperative that operates in the areas of intervention regarding immigration, prevention, addictions, child exploitation and social inclusion covering the social exclusion area that is at the same time, for the company, both a cost and an opportunity. To offer new opportunities to those who have never had or have missed (prisoners, vulnerable groups, people excluded from the labor market) means offer these to the entire population. A person is reintegrated when not economically weighs on social services, leaves the illegality circuits, not create social alarm, produces resources instead of consuming. C.A.T. is working in prison since 2007, with projects aimed at improving the quality of life (health education projects), activation of educational and artistic activities, social reintegration. But also to give voice to those who are behind the wall.
